Operation
Fire hazard.
Do not leave the appliance
unattended whilst it is being used.
Switching on
The control for the burner must be
pressed in and turned anti-clockwise
to the large flame symbol to switch
on. The ignitor will "click" and ignite
the gas.
When a control knob is activated, a
spark is developed automatically at all
rings. This is normal and does not
indicate a defect.
When a flame is visible, keep the
control knob pressed in for
5-10 seconds, and then let it go. Do
not keep the knob pressed longer
than 15 seconds.
If the burner does not ignite after
15 seconds, turn the control knob
back to "". Air the room or wait at
least one minute before trying again.
If the burner does not ignite the
second time, turn the control knob
back to "" and see "Problem solving
guide".
Flame goes out during
operation
If the flame goes out, for example
because food has boiled over or if
there has been a sudden draught,
turn the control knob to "".
Wait at least one minute before trying
ignite the burner again.

Adjusting the flame
The burners can be regulated at any
level between the strongest and
weakest flame.
As the outer part of the flame is much
hotter than the centre, the tips of the
flames should stay beneath the pan
base. Flame tips which extend beyond
the sides of the pan merely warm up
the air in the room and can also
damage pan handles and increase the
danger of injury.
Adjust the flame so that it does not
spread out beyond the sides of the
pan.
Switching off
Turn the control clockwise to position
"".
This stops the flow of gas and the flame
goes out.
